What we’re doing

These are the critical areas where your support could really help us.

Supporting anti-poaching programmes

Supporting the teams of rangers and local people on the ground who put their lives on the line to protect elephants and other wildlife from poachers.

Tackling trafficking

Exposing key hotspots where ivory and other illegal products are being smuggled, bought, and sold - and fighting to get them closed down.

Reducing buying

Encouraging initiatives to help people realise that animals are worth more alive than dead, and reduce consumer demand.

Working with governments

Putting pressure on governments to have the right laws and policies in place to make it possible to stop the illegal wildlife trade, once and for all.

Restoring wildlife

Poaching is an ever-growing threat, but there are successes to celebrate. Wild tiger numbers have begun to increase for the first time in conservation history, and China has committed to ban all trade in ivory.

Protecting our vital planet

Your support helps our work around the world. That includes everything from protecting forests, oceans and rivers to reducing carbon emissions and improving the way we treat our planet.
